Well, we had a good night at Matt’s house last night, but the second day of team camp for the POA Cycling Team isn’t going over so well. Woke up this morning to find ice all over the place. Don’t think I’m going to be riding outside today!

Most of the team gathered at Matt's place

Of course, one visit to Twitter and you see all the transplanted Northerners making fun of our “snow” here. Go ahead, I’m glad snow is so unusual here. I’ll trade it for having to deal with the stuff all winter long. Also, understand, this isn’t nice, fluffy, play-in-it stuff. This is hard crunchy ice.

That being said, we had plans to all connect at Paul’s house for some fun watching old races while spinning on our trainers. I was getting ready to load up and go out to brave the ice covered roads to get there when I got a text message from our manager, Blair. He said the event was canceled because the roads were even worse out near Paul’s place.

So, looks like I’ll be spinning on my own today. We’re hoping the roads will clear well enough by this evening so we can go through with our sponsor dinner. It will be my first chance to meet some of our sponsors and I’m looking forward to that.

While I’m typing this I get another message from Blair saying that the ride and photo shoot for tomorrow is now also in doubt. Oooo, that doesn’t make me happy. We needed to get those photos so we could get the ball rolling on the roster page for the new design of POACycling.com.

My plans for the day are now getting redone. I’m contemplating doing some of the workouts that Jim gave me in anticipation of the Time Trial that also got postponed due to the weather. That would include an hour warming up and then a hard 12 minute effort.  Then I might climb back on the trainer later to get in some more time. Today was supposed to be four hours or more on the bike. Don’t think I’ll get that much!
